Several natural beaches nearby (8km).

It was an amazing experience! Annie and Fady are very dedicated and made a point of making us feel like we were in our house! The breakfast is indescribable with lots of variety, and the animals are very friendly! The room is very spacious and super cozy! We will definitely return here!

Joana2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

It is a very spacious room and bathroom, country house, somewhat secluded. Very attentive hostess. There are animals on the farm.

Javier2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

Super!!! If you are looking for a weekend deep in nature, with all comforts of a hostel (very nice and comfortable room, private toilet, incredible breakfast), don't look further and book this room in nice Central Portugal. Nearby there's a very nice river beach, to enjoy nature at full. I also thank Fady for the late check in, as we have been delayed and she was ready to welcome us at 23. Thank you very much, we hope we'll be back soon!!!

Andrea2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

This is a good country location away from noise, traffic and pollution. The house is situated along a quiet country lane with little passing traffic, and has a substantial amount of land around it for guests to go for walks in. I enjoyed lying in the hammock just across from the house, among the trees. The host is very hospitable and able to accommodate your precise requirements, including for breakfast. Both the bedroom and bathroom are very spacious and modern, and there are tea- and coffee-making facilities in the hallway next to the room. There are few eating facilities close by with only one bar/restaurant in Sarzedas (3km), and Castelo Branco is quite some way away (22km). This is a good choice for those who enjoy the quiet countryside.

Thistle cottage is a rural house set in the heart of Portugal surrounded by flowing rivers and hills in a perfectly idealistic location . Tranquil and unspoiled

Central Portugal can't offer you the view of the ocean nor the sound of the waves but we have something even better! We have the view of stunning river beaches with the sound of nature and silence...Enjoy nature at its best surrounded by beautiful valleys and flowing rivers

The neighbours in Gatas are wonderful friendly people! We call our neighbours our extended family

I stayed here with my family for only one night to break a long drive between Madrid and our summer rental on the coast of Portugal. The house itself is quite basic in a tiny village in a beautiful valley. The highlight of the place is where it's located. We drove about 30 min away to the Playa Fluvial Froia which is a natural swimming area on a river. The kids loved it and it was really special. Nichola was very attentive by email and the woman who let us into the house was also very kind. She spoke no English but with my Spanish I understood just enough Portuguese to communicate. She gave us two freshly picked watermelon from her garden! For a short stay the house is fine but I would say it could be a bit basic for a longer one. Bring mosquito repellent! We got eaten alive!

Asaf2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

House located in a quiet village about 20 minutes from Castelo Branco car, good location to go explore the area of the river beaches. very friendly neighbors who helped us to find the house on arrival! The Nichola was very helpful and welcoming. Great price.

Cozy Xisto - Built in the early nineteen-hundreds and recently restored. The property comprises of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living/dining room, fully fitted kitchen and small patio with BBQ area. Your perfect weekend getaway from the hustle and bustle

We are based in the old Village of Mata. We are 16KM from Castelo Branco, 40KM from Penamacor and the Historical Village of Monsanto. Serra da Estrela is 1h drive away through beautiful countryside. Also nearby you have an array of Fluvial beaches (incl. Idanha Nova where they host Boom Festival every two years only a 25min drive away) and swimming pool open in the summer months where weather temperatures can reach mid 40c.

Cozy Xisto is located on a very peaceful and chilled out Village, most of the locals spend most of the days in they’re small farms taking care of the organic produce and animals. You can schedule fresh bread, pastries and cakes on a daily basis from the neighbour baker a few houses away delivered to your door every morning (We can assist :-)). There are two small mini-marts were you can buy an array of cured meats, fresh vegetables etc… and local cafes were you can seat and enjoy an espresso before exploring the area.

I met Hugo, he is an amazing guy. He is so kind. Their place is beautiful.

Deb2017-03-31T00:00:00Z

To relax from the hustle of everyday life there is no better. Very quiet and comfortable, the friendliness of everyone knows. Well equipped and clean.

Marisa & Ricardo2017-03-22T00:00:00Z

Cozy shale is exactly what we see in the photographs. Cozy, clean, quiet, beautiful, relaxing, ... it has everything you need for a few days of real rest. And if you want to explore the area there is also much to visit. And Hugo is a fantastic host, friendly, warm, ready to help in everything we need. Simply fabulous! We recommend to all. Thank you Hugo and see you soon :-)

Vítor & Tolga2017-01-12T00:00:00Z

I have one word to say : "WOW". Everything was over our expectations! First, the house (yes it's a complete house), made of old authentic stones, is beautiful and comfy! We had everything we needed! Second, Hugo is probably the most kind, friendly, efficient and devoted host we had so far! We felt more than welcome and he gave us so much good advises! Thanks again and we'll surely recommend your place ! Laurence & Alain

Alain2016-07-16T00:00:00Z

The name of the house lives up to it. Cozy Shale is really welcoming and we felt like at home. Hugo was a great host, who received us with great sympathy and availability possible, and promptly put us at ease to do whatever it took. We recommend it without a doubt and we were with immense desire to return!

Margarida2017-05-16T00:00:00Z

Pleasant stay of three days in a charming little house with a nice patio. Better to get supplies before arriving because the village is little provided in markets and restaurants.

Therese2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Farm with sheep, organic garden and space for an artist to dream and rest

A good house with all basic and necessary. Antonio and his wife are friendly and always willing to help people. The weekend was rainy and we could enjoy the outside but good weather is an ideal group to be in place.

Marisol2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

A house very comfortable, everything very good for sure we will return.

Bruno2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

spacious and well equipped with access to a farm itself full of aromatic plants, fruit trees and tranquility. strategic location between the Geopark and Serra da Estrela. Easy access to the house. The host is a loving and caring person. Antonio thank you very much, we felt like home.

Mª Dolores2017-04-15T00:00:00Z

Antonio and his wife welcomed us with great kindness and understanding, when we arrived with our dogs to participate in a herd dog trials in the area. The house very well equipped, it was a pity that we have not had more time to enjoy it. I can not recommend. Frédéric

Frederic2016-02-22T00:00:00Z

Ample space, quiet and reserved, far from noise, confusion, cars and people, etc. The calm nights the heat of the stove and sunny days with the company of the sheep make it perfect for relaxing few days. However, with the 10 minutes of White Castle, access to all goods is easy and the city is beautiful for those who want to know (gardens, museums, trade). As for Mr. Anthony, a person 5 *, worker, service and always friendly and available. I advise enough.

Pedro2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

House in new condition, with a large common area (kitchen & living room, balconies) with access to outer space. Parking in front of the door! Excellent cost / benefit ratio.

Luís2016-09-19T00:00:00Z

Mr. Anthony was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The house is excellent and an amazing outdoor space and some extras that nature can offer us. It is a place / space we recommend without any doubt.

Jorge2016-05-29T00:00:00Z

Pablo2017-04-14T00:00:00Z

Very nice house (brand new) with everything needed for a night stay (my case). Everything was very clean and new. A very good place to stay away from city confusion in the middle of the mountains. Very near to a river pool (Lameira da Ribeira) very pleasant for a outside barbecue or pic-nic. Very good option for a quiet and relax stay.

My place is close to great views. You’ll love my place because of the people, the location, the ambiance, and the outdoors space. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and furry friends (pets).

Casita Do Pastor is a charming renovated stone cottage on a 7 acre "Quinta" on an elevated site with stunning views. Fully equipped kitchen for a self-catering stay. Set in woodland, surrounded by nature, this tranquil private retreat offers all modern comforts. Only 5 minutes walk to the beautiful village of Vale De Prazeres with all amenities: bars, cafes, groceries, pharmacy, atm, train station, etc.
The large town of Fundao is a 15 minute drive away, city of Castelo Branco is a 35 minute drive, Portugals highest mountain 'Serra da Estrela' is also 35 mins drive with skiing in winter. A23 motorway is a 10 minute drive from here. Many historic sites are nearby: Monsanto, Castelo Novo, Sabugal and many more. Beautiful outdoor swimming pools only 5 minutes drive. Lakes and rivers with river beaches close-by.

The site is excellent and the house also. We really enjoyed staying in Pastor Casita and we regret not staying longer. It is undoubtedly a place to return. Rogério was very friendly, accessible and available to give us information and help was needed. The house is very cozy and comfortable. The terrace is fantastic in the summer evenings, where we can see starry night sky. During the day we have spectacular scenery all around and you can go hiking through the mountains. The Prazeres Valley village is very close to the site. It is excellent to rest and get out of the routine.

Carlos2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

Thank you to Rogiero for hospitality, kindness and availability. The unit complies with the photos and we had a very pleasant stay despite the rain and cold. Just a clarification for access to the house is a dirt road that can be difficult in case of rain. But this is a small hurdle and then enjoy the quiet of the house and the beautiful view of the mountains. Warmly recommended.

Jocelyne2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay in Casita Do Pastor was simply amazing. The house itself is pretty and renovated with very good taste. The surroundings are breath taking - very quiet and relaxing. The area is full of different kind of hiking trails and with little effort you can reach amazing views from the top of the mountains. The town of Vale de Prazeres is very charming. And as a cherry on top, the hosts are simply great - very helpful and super nice people.

Pekka Oskari2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Great space, balcony with an incredible view, ideal to rest, Rogério is super friendly and attentive, we just have to thank.

Willian2017-05-01T00:00:00Z

Our experience can't be better. Hosts are so responsive and friendly, welcomed us as old friends. The house is perfectly clean, cozy and very thought-out. It seems small, but organized so well that basically has everything you may need. Location is unforgettable: forest and smell, birds and noises, view and stars. There are many hiking trails around to discover. I honestly envy those, who will stay at this place. Wish you guys all the best and thank you for having us!

Viktoriia2017-05-03T00:00:00Z

Tracy2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at this romantic house in the woods! The night sky is breathtaking, it's also a great starting point for trips to the mountains or the old villages like Monsanto.. Rogerio and Billy were super kind and helpful even at night time and surprised us with delicious figs and tomatoes from their own farm. Highly recommended place for relaxing. All the best to you guys, Vera and Sebastian

Sebastian2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Everyone who loves the nature and the forest has to stay at Rogerios sweet house. The little farm house was rebuilt with much love to details. We loved it and didn't miss anything :)

Juleh2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

It was excellent. The house is lovely, very well decorated, clean and pleasant. Unfortunately we could not speak with Adriano and deal with his sister and brother in law, but it did not bring any kind of problem for us, including his sister was extremely helpful and friendly. The house is beautiful, large, spacious and very complete. The surroundings of the house are also beautiful including the houses and the town, which although very quiet is very pretty. We loved our stay and were very well received.

Mateus2016-07-21T00:00:00Z

It was a very pleasant time at Adriano. We were greeted by her sister Julieta was very attentive to us. While Adriano was away, I had no trouble contact of that I needed. The house is spacious and very pleasant to live. I recommend !!

Priscillia2016-08-28T00:00:00Z

Jorge2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay - thank you Adriano, really appreciated your home.

The house was absolutely adorable. The host even brought figs and fresh bread and made us feel very welcome.

Kimberly2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

We were very happy to stay in this nice house. The kids didn't want to leave... ever! The kitchen/living room is an open space which makes it fine to be all together while cooking/taking apero/eating/playing. Two good bedrooms. Maybe in winter it could be a little cold as the lareira is in the corner. But we were lucky to have nice weather. Thank you Maria!

Gerrie2015-04-13T00:00:00Z

Dana2016-08-19T00:00:00Z

The house is nice and cozy as seen in the photos. The village is all stone, silent, quiet and very small so you have to come with supplies because it is away from everything. A good place to unwind. The reception was not good because we were waiting almost one hour trying to contact Catarina and Maria but did not answer the phone or messages.

José2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Everything went well, very nice host. Only improvements I would had at my stay are wifi (very slow) and the mattress of the big bed is to old, makes a lot of noise and not very comfortable. As you read this, it can already be fixed. To be clear I would (and will) book it again

Joao2017-07-01T00:00:00Z

A beautiful home nestled in a very nice and all the details that are needed in a home village. Only one problem, the cold ... the house is not winterized, he had two bad radiators and a fireplace without firewood. I think for the price paid we should not be cold and had.

Rosa and Joaquim are lovely! Kind, generous and welcoming and always helpful if you need anything. We stayed a month there and they took us to their favourite, local places in the area. The house is spacious with a lot of nice antique furniture and is definetely better equipped than described on the profile (for example laundry machine). For an escape from stressful life, surrounded by beautiful nature it will be a very good place to be! Absolutely recommended!
